Skyscraper is a gentle poetic adventure for the youngest readers, a bedtime rumination on the day's progress into night. Originally included in the 1974 edition of Alligator Pie, it stands as one of Lee's most charming works. With its age-appropriate “action poem” style and wonderfully evocative art by Nora Hilb, Skyscraper appeals to the imagination of infants and toddlers. And with sturdy, board-book construction, complete with rounded edges, the book is built to stand the test of time — and teething.
